Whole Wheat Rolls

These are the most moist, yummy rolls ever.

And, they are ready to eat in 40 minutes!

Amazing :)

The recipe is adapted from another hamburger roll recipe on my blog. I created this version when I went to make rolls a few weeks ago without any eggs! I wasn't sure how they would turn out -- but they were fantastic. So, this weekend, I tried to see if I could re-create these rolls again, and I did with success.

The key to these rolls... don't over bake them! They have a nice chewy texture that I love.

I cannot wait to try these. I finally found a local source of grass fed beef and I will be planting tomatoes and onions. . . the only thing I was searching for was a great homemade hamburger roll to make the perfect burger. Thanks for sharing!

I think so, however, the rise time is much less than a traditional yeast bread, so I am not sure how that would work in the time frame of the dough cycle on your bread machine. One approach would be to stop the dough after the first rise and make the rolls from there.

***QUICK TIP: When making bread and you don't have hours for the bread to rise... preheat your oven to 170. Let rise in preheated oven for about 15-25 mins then (leave bread in oven) turn oven up to 350 and bake for 20-30 mins. this works for most rolls and loaf bread too. ENOJY!

I just made these for dinner (had to make them early because I'll be at work but the fam will enjoy them). Anyway, I thought why not have one now and make a sandwich out of it. So I did, and it was good!

I made these tonight for the first time to use as hamburger buns. I had been using another recipe that was ok, but I just decided to try something different. My husband took one bite and said (while still chewing) "I don't know what you did differently, but these buns are unbelievable!" And I have to agree. Thanks so much!

I have never tried it for a loaf of bread; if you are looking for a great loaf - I recommend our wheat buttermilk bread. But, if you're feeling adventurous -- give this recipe a go! If you do, please let me know how it turns out.

I'd bake at 375 for 30 - 35 minutes. We do have a bread recipe I love that's vegan -- http://joyinmykitchen.blogspot.com/2010/09/moms-whole-wheat-bread.html. I grew up eating this bread, so you could also try that one.

Not sure what I did wrong, but my buns DID NOT turn out well. Maybe it's because I used whole wheat flour instead of the white whole wheat (not sure if there is a difference) Anyways, will try again but just wondering if the flour was my problem or if I did something else wrong. :(

I'm sorry that these rolls didn't turn out for you. I have made them with all whole wheat flour too, but they are more dense. I can't really help you troubleshoot based on the information that you've provided, but I do hope you'll give them a go again!

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
